The night was not only good for the Egyptian national team and the fans who were proud of their national team, but the night also held a great achievement for star Hamza abdelkader when facing Belgium in the World Cup.

The young Egyptian star, 18 years old, arrived on the field in the 76th minute of the match against Belgium, in which the Egyptian national team was statistically superior and came out with a positive draw of one goal each, making Hamza the youngest player in the history of the Pharaohs to participate in the World Cup.

The forward’s journey to FC Barcelona began with a loan stint from Al Ahly, which later evolved into a permanent transfer after the Catalan club allegedly triggered a €1.5 million purchase clause to keep him on the squad for good.
